I enjoyed watching the Game and the Ark together because they stand in contrast to each other as the best and worst of Sheppard and McKay.

In the Game we see McKay's arrogance and Sheppard's aggression unmitigated by any of their other virtues spread through a whole culture. Both of them are plagued with stubbornness and unwillingness to see the other side of the picture. Sheppard and McKay have to work overtime to try and keep their worst sides from hurting each other. I think this is a major part of their friendship.

McKay has almost no friends because he's so hard to work with. It's shown in such a hysterical way when Nola refuses to believe that Baden's citrus fruit is anything but an insult.

Sheppard too struggles in the friend department because he's aggressive and doesn't follow the rules. Baden actually cheats at the game and orders the attack on Nola and her people. This shows Sheppard as a man who, mostly before the responsibilities of Atlantis settle on his shoulders, might have just been a bit too quick to pick a fight.

Oddly, McKay finds a friend in Sheppard, and Sheppard a friend in McKay. They are proof that Nola and Baden aren't one dimensional, and can not only get along but thrive together.

(Also, I will always love Sheppard beating McKay at chess at the end and I will always love LORNE! and Radak playing the game.)

The Ark stands in total contrast to the Game. It is Sheppard and McKay's qualities dialed up. It is Sheppard talking McKay down from panic, calming Ronon with a promised fight to the death, knowing Atlantis (LORNE!) will come for them, fighting to save his team, and then willingly sacrificing himself for Teyla. The look on his face when he's breaking through the door is gold. He is a determined man ready to kill if you touch his people, which you did, so prepare to die.

The episode ends with Sheppard reiterating yet again that he would willingly give his life for any of them, even McKay.

Rodney is also at his best. Excited to explore, quick on his feet, comes up with solutions, listens to Sheppard, tries to save everyone, and tries to talk Sheppard out of risking his life. I love the moment he tells Lorne he's not going back to the Jumper because they don't leave their people behind, and Lorne gently agrees and explains that he's not leaving anyone behind.

Rodney may be quick to panic and quick to tell you how you're going to die, but he too will do anything for his team.

Watching these two episodes back to back is great because of the contrast they provide. Sheppard and McKay at their worst and then Sheppard and McKay as they are, which are two men who have worked against their worst traits for the sake of others.

...and next is Sunday. Big, sad sigh.

A Series of Unfortunate Screen Caps - The Game

[adriankyte-writes]

Interesting problem to have...

I struggle somehow with writing short. My current WIP is supposed to be a 5+1 kind of thing, with each installment being a kind of single scene interaction.

Except...I found out it won't canonically fit where I planned for it to fit.

I had a scenario that I thought would be fun, and built it up to carry the scene.

The problem, is that this has now turned into a multi-day adventure and is sitting at over 13k words and could easily be a fic in its own right.

So, do I drop the whole thing in to the 5+1 and let it be a monstrous chapter? Or do I pull out the scene for the 5+1 and publish it as a separate fic?

A lot of articles I've read today say that readers prefer smaller installments that can be read in five to ten minutes.

Spoils of War

"If you had hesitated for even a moment" - Teyla.

I do so very much love Sheppard. I love that he didn't hesitate. I love that he's already saved Teyla's child. I love that even while he was benching Teyla, because who wants to be the guy who puts a child in danger, he was still Teyla's friend, still cared about her, still gave her space to sort herself out. I love that Sheppard knew before Teyla knew that she wouldn't be able to be on the front line anymore. I love that he still views her as part of the team even if she's not able to do what she once did.

I also love that Teyla grows and changes. She actually changes as she wrestles with everything it means to become a mother. I love that she realizes that she was wrong, admits it, and sees that she has changed direction. I love that she was once someone who would put herself in danger for her friends and now she's a mom protecting her child. She has become such a deep and strong character.

Also, I love that Todd got his name and I love Lorne congratulating Teyla and telling her she'll be a great mom.

Anyone remember the episode where Ronon is kinda playing with his gun and it makes Teyla smile? I wanna say it’s at the very beginning of the episode and it’s a very blink and you’ll miss it moment
